Bottle Cap Wine Glass Charms

Introduction: Bottle Cap Wine Glass Charms

Using some simple materials, bottle caps and polymer clay, create beautiful, one-of-a-kind wine glass charms. Used to individualize wine glasses at a party (or a Tuesday night gathering), these charms will surely set the glasses apart. You can make them for yourself or make them as gifts. Unique and beautiful, these wine glass charms will certainly add some artisnal flair to any drink.

Step 3:

For those unfamiliar with polymer clay, it is an oven bake clay that comes in a variety of colors. In order to use it, it must be conditioned first and this is easily done by using a pasta machine. Slice the 2oz. block of polymer clay into four slices and pass these through the machine at the largest setting to soften. When all are soft, combine them together and condition until very workable.

To make these wine charms, I rolled my clay out at the largest/thickest setting and then folded it over on itself, thus doubling it. This made the clay thick enough to fill the bottle cap.

Once I had my clay conditioned and to the right height, I added some silver leaf and pressed it with a variety of stamps.

How did you fit the polymer clay into the cap without the jump ring being in the way? Was it just high enough into the side of the bottle cap that it didn't interfere? it looks like it would get in the way
